THE CHALLENGES
NEW SCHOOL FACING FIERCE COMPETITION
Brighton College faced a number of challenges early on in Singapore:
➔ Fierce Competition: Brighton faced competition from some other prestigious British schools like Tanglin Trust and Dulwich College
➔ A Brand New School: Brighton was a brand new school in Singapore, trying to grow in the middle of COVID19.
➔ Massive Cost Per Lead: While working with their initial agency, they were paying as much as $3,000 per lead!
➔ Big SEO Struggles: Due to some technical issues and lack of focus, Brighton was leaving lot of SEO potential on the table
THE SOLUTIONS
SEO + ADVERTISING SYNERGY
On-Page SEO and Technical Optimization
As we began working with Brighton College, we realized they were handcuffing themselves from ranking on Google for relevant search terms. Their pages weren’t optimized for any specific keywords, their pages loaded slowly, their site wasn’t secure, and much more. So we implemented:
Page speed fixes
An SSL certificate
Optimized title tags for each page
Sitemap creation and submission
URL priority configurations & internal linking optimization
Other on-page optimizations like adding H1s and adjusting other headings
Link Building for SEO Boost
To really infiltrate the SERP (Search Engine Results Pages) for education-related keywords in Singapore, we needed to do more than just technically optimize the site. When you’re competing in a saturated industry, you need quality, authoritative backlinks to earn first page rankings.
So we put together a link building plan, performed link prospecting to top sites, wrote content when applicable, and earned between 25 and 30 quality backlinks each month from reputable sites.
Creative Facebook Ads + Effective Google Ads
To attract more attention to Brighton’s offerings and to supplement their SEO efforts, we wrote conversion-focused Google Search Ads and created eye-catching visuals for Google Display Network and Facebook.
Our ad copy and creatives rotate depending on the school’s season. We regularly make adjustments to ensure they’re running to the right audiences, the copy is resonating, and we’re getting the most out of our bidding. We maximize their budget to ensure Brighton gets as many enrollments as possible at the lowest cost possible.
So we put together a link building plan, performed link prospecting to top sites, wrote content when applicable, and earned between 25 and 30 quality backlinks each month from reputable sites.
THE RESULTS
DRAMATICALLY CUTTING DOWN COST PER LEAD
Since starting to work with Brighton, we helped them decrease their cost per lead by 65%. Enrollment is up across the board and their cohort sizes continue to increase each semester.
Our Approach
When Collectius came to us with significant gaps in their SEO expertise and online visibility, we tailored a comprehensive approach that was designed to overhaul their digital presence and drive measurable improvements. Here's how we proceeded:
- SEO Audit: An on-page and off-page SEO audit was conducted to identify areas for improvement
- Google Search Console Installation: Google Search Console was installed on the Collectius website to monitor and track their analytics
- Digital Content Strategy: We produced a digital content strategy pack to help Collectius enhance their SEO goals
- Backlink Acquisition: Backlinks were purchased to improve Collectius' domain ranking Keyword Research: Extensive keyword research was performed to align content and SEO strategies with relevant search trends
Comprehensive SEO Audit
We initiated our process by conducting a detailed SEO audit for Collectius. This audit was crucial in pinpointing several critical areas where the company was underperforming.
Key issues we found included suboptimal keyword utilisation, missing meta descriptions, and poorly optimised content that wasn't fully aligned with target search queries.
Having identified areas for improvement, the Brew team worked with Collectius’ web development team to implement these fixes.
Following the initial SEO audit, we conducted a focused technical SEO audit for Collectius. A technical SEO audit is a thorough examination of a website’s technical infrastructure as it relates to its visibility and performance in search engines.
It evaluates several key elements, including site architecture, page speed, mobile-friendliness, indexing, crawlability, security, and use of technologies that may impact search engine access and efficiency.
This was a critical step to ensuring that the website’s infrastructure met modern search engine standards, which is pivotal for improving search rankings and user experience. Our audit revealed several key technical issues that needed immediate attention:
Slow Loading Speeds: We identified that the Collectius website had slower than optimal loading times. Slow speeds can significantly affect user experience and negatively impact search engine rankings. To address this, we optimised image sizes, minimised the use of blocking JavaScript, and implemented more efficient caching policies to enhance page load performance.
The Lack of a Sitemap: The absence of a sitemap was another critical gap. Sitemaps are essential as they help search engines more intelligently crawl the site and understand its structure. We created and submitted a comprehensive sitemap to Google, which facilitated better indexing of the website’s pages.
Mobile Optimization: Our audit also found that Collectius’ website was not optimised for mobile users. The Brew team provided detailed guidance to Collectius' web development team on best practices for mobile optimization going forward. This included advice on implementing accelerated mobile pages (AMP), optimising button sizes and touch targets, and ensuring text readability without requiring zoom.
Tracking & Monitoring of Collectius’ Web Performance
To better monitor and track the effectiveness of our strategies, we installed Google Search Console (GSC) on Collectius’ website. GSC allows us to gain valuable insights into the site's traffic, search performance, and any crawling errors, thereby enabling us to make data-driven decisions.
With data from GSC, we can identify which pages are performing well and which might require further optimization. This helps us refine SEO strategies and target specific issues with precision.
Digital Content Strategy
Recognizing the importance of content in SEO success, we crafted a comprehensive digital content strategy pack specifically tailored to Collectius' needs.
This strategy involved developing four customer personas and two end-user personas, representing the diverse segments of Collectius' audience. These personas helped us understand the distinct needs, behaviours, and preferences of different user types that interact with Collectius' services.
From this foundation, we were able to pinpoint the types of content and topics that would resonate most strongly with each persona. Leveraging these insights, we developed a series of SEO-optimised articles.
Each article was carefully written by our copywriter who made sure that keywords used were relevant with Collectius’ offerings and aligned with the interests of potential clients.
Taking this approach allowed us to attract more organic traffic to their site and significantly enhance visibility for these targeted search terms.
Backlink Acquisition
To strengthen Collectius’ domain authority and improve their search engine ranking, we strategically acquired high-quality backlinks. This effort was aimed at boosting their profile against competitors and increasing the trustworthiness of their site in the eyes of search engines.
Through our targeted backlink acquisition efforts, we gradually improved the organic traffic to Collectius' site.
As their domain authority increased, so did their visibility in search engine results, leading to more visitors naturally finding their way to the website without the need for paid advertising.
This steady increase in organic traffic not only enhanced their online presence but also contributed to higher engagement and conversion rates.
Outstanding SEO Results for Collectius
Our comprehensive SEO strategy delivered impressive results for Collectius, significantly enhancing their online visibility and search engine performance. Here are some of the key achievements:
